65: Chapter 65 The reserve team members are indeed terrifying! Mental detection, activate! Brothers, activate your Martial Souls!

"Wait a moment."

"Is this a Reserve Team you've got here, or a demolition team sent to tear down the academy?"

Tang Ya waved her hand.

"Rest assured, we have a sense of propriety."

Yao Haoxuan pointed at the cracked ground beside Wang Qiuer's feet.

"You call this having a sense of propriety?"

Wang Qiuer lowered her head and took a look.

"I only used a tiny bit of strength."

"Then what if you used a lot of strength?"

"The ground would collapse."

Yao Haoxuan turned his head to look at Ma Xiaotao.

"Captain, is it too late for me to apply for work-related injury compensation right now?"

Ma Xiaotao wore a calm expression.

"Too late, the application channel closed yesterday."

"Then can I apply to switch teams?"

"Sure."

Yao Haoxuan's eyes lit up.

"Really?"

"Go to the Reserve Team."

"My apologies for disturbing you."

Elder Xuan jumped down from the spectator stand and clapped his hands.

"Introductions are done. Let's begin the coordination practice."

"Huo Yuhao, you will temporarily serve as the commander of the Reserve Team."

Just as Huo Yuhao was about to speak, Wang Qiuer asked, "Why him?"

"Because his brain works fast."

"My brain works fast too."

Elder Xuan glanced at her.

"What is your first reaction when you see an enemy?"

"Charge over."

"What about seeing a trap?"

"Step right over it."

"What about seeing seven people surrounding and attacking?"

"Beat them all together."

Elder Xuan nodded.

"That's why you are suited for charging."

Wang Qiuer still wanted to speak, but Huo Yuhao timely pulled her back.

"Stop arguing."

"Are you afraid I'll steal your position?"

"I'm afraid Elder Xuan will make you write a tactical plan."

Wang Qiuer fell silent for a moment.

"You take command."

She approved of this reason.

Elder Xuan looked at the others.

"Any other opinions?"

Wang Donger said, "I'm used to coordinating with Yuhao, so I have no objections."

Tang Ya raised her hand.

"I have an objection."

"Speak."

"Is there a subsidy for getting scolded as the captain?"

"None."

"Then I have no objections."

Jiang Nannan spoke softly.

"I excel at flanking cut-ins and am not suited for direct head-on collisions. Yuhao, leave a route for me when you arrange the tactics."

"Alright."

Gu Yuena also said, "My abilities cannot be fully exposed for the time being."

Huo Yuhao nodded.

"I will control the extent of your actions."

Xiaoxiao asked with a bitter face, "Then what about defense?"

Several people looked at her in unison.

Xiaoxiao widened her eyes.

"It's me again?"

Tang Ya patted her shoulder.

"More work for the capable."

"You guys are responsible for charging, and I'm responsible for control, interception, protecting the backline, and also filling empty slots?"

"Pretty much."

"I'm doing four jobs by myself, what about the salary?"

Huo Yuhao coughed lightly.

"I'll treat you to a meal after the match."

Xiaoxiao immediately nodded.

"Deal, the most expensive one by Sea God Lake."

"You really aren't polite at all."

"Workers talk about compensation first; it's very reasonable."

Elder Xuan didn't let them continue chattering.

"I'll give you the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to demonstrate your coordination."

"The Main Team will watch."

"If you can't even figure out your positions, today's sparring match will be directly cancelled, and everyone will run around Sea God Lake for 1000 laps."

Tang Ya drew a sharp breath.

"Elder Xuan, your management style is a bit hardcore."

"Any objections?"

"None, I've behaved, please spare me."

The seven members of the Reserve Team quickly took their positions.

Huo Yuhao was in the center, and Xiaoxiao guarded the rear.

Wang Qiuer was at the very front.

Wang Donger was on the left side.

Jiang Nannan was hidden on the right side.

Tang Ya was responsible for linking them together.

Gu Yuena stood very close to Huo Yuhao, making it convenient to fill in at any time.

However, as soon as the formation was set up, problems arose.

Wang Qiuer took three steps forward.

Huo Yuhao spoke: "Step back."

"It's more convenient for charging here."

"If you take two more steps, you'll be out of Xiaoxiao's defense range."

"I don't need defense."

"Your teammates need you to coordinate."

Wang Qiuer stopped.

Wang Donger also spoke.

"Yuhao, I'll stand by your side, and we can directly use a Spirit Fusion technique."

"Maintain the conventional formation first."

"The Main Team is very strong; conventional tactics will have a hard time gaining an advantage."

"Spirit Fusion techniques must be saved for critical moments."

Tang Ya suddenly pointed to the left.

"I think we can use Blue Silver Grass to block the road first, and then let Nannan flank from behind."

Jiang Nannan shook her head.

"The opposite side has two agility-attack systems; your Blue Silver Grass might not be able to block them."

"Then I'll change it on the spot."

"On-the-spot changes are too big; the others won't be able to keep up."

Tang Ya blinked.

"Fortune is sought in danger, you know."

Huo Yuhao sighed.

"Teacher Tang Ya, put fortune aside for now. Our goal today is not to collectively team-build at the infirmary."

Gu Yuena suddenly said, "They are observing our dispute."

Everyone raised their heads, and sure enough, the seven members of the Main Team were watching with great relish.

Yao Haoxuan was still commenting.

"The lineup is quite luxurious, but the internal channel is a bit noisy."

Gongyang Mo laughed, "Normal, new teams are all like this."

Ma Xiaotao looked at Huo Yuhao.

"He will handle it well."

Dai Yueheng said, "Relying solely on one person makes it hard to suppress so many different thoughts."

"That's because you don't understand him."

"You have a lot of confidence?"

"Of course."

In the field, Huo Yuhao closed his eyes.

"Nobody move."

"Let you see my perspective first."

The next second, the Spirit Eyes lit up.

A circle of invisible spiritual fluctuations spread out from Huo Yuhao's body, rapidly covering the entire training ground.

Spiritual Detection Sharing, activate.

The six members of the Reserve Team fell silent simultaneously.

The scope of the training ground, everyone's position, and the distance between each other clearly appeared in their minds.

There was no longer any distinction between front and back in their vision.

Even with their eyes closed, they could "see" everything around them.

Tang Ya raised her hand to release Blue Silver Grass.

She didn't even need to look back to know which strand of Blue Silver Grass Jiang Nannan was stepping next to.

Xiaoxiao controlled the Soul Suppression Cauldron to move forward, and her route was completely without error.

Wang Donger spread her wings and flew into mid-air.

She could see the movements of everyone on the ground clearly.

Wang Qiuer took a step forward, then actively stopped.

She felt Xiaoxiao's defense range and also knew which area Tang Ya's Blue Silver Grass was preparing to blockade.

Gu Yuena turned her head sideways.

"Can Soul Power fluctuations also be shared?"

"Yes."

"What about the mental consumption?"

"I will bear it."

"Distance limit?"

"Currently enough to cover the training ground."

"Enemy action prediction?"

"Rely on everyone to judge together."

Huo Yuhao opened his eyes.

"Do you still think my reminder not to charge too fast was redundant?"

Wang Qiuer gripped the golden dragon spear tightly.

"I am responsible for dealing with anyone who approaches you."

Wang Donger immediately said, "Leave this matter to me."

"You are responsible for the air."

"I am more familiar with coordinating with Yuhao."

"Familiarity doesn't mean only you can do it; I am even more familiar with him."

"Do you want to steal my position?"

"Anyone can stand in a suitable position."

Huo Yuhao quickly intensified the reminder within the spiritual sharing.

"You two, the enemy is still on the opposite side; please turn off the internal PK for now."

Tang Ya chuckled out loud from the side.

"Little Yuhao, this captain of yours is not easy to be."

"Teacher Tang Ya, if you say a few words less, I can live a few more years."

But Jiang Nannan was seriously experiencing the Spiritual Detection Sharing.

"With this, I don't need to look back to confirm teammates' positions when I flank."

Xiaoxiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can see everyone's landing spots simultaneously; the defensive pressure is much smaller."

Gu Yuena said, "It can also reduce communication time."

Tang Ya nodded.

"From now on, no need to shout tactics; the whole team holds meetings inside their brains."

Huo Yuhao corrected, "It can only share detection information, not directly read minds for now."

Tang Ya was somewhat disappointed.

"Then you need to work hard."

Huo Yuhao looked at her.

"Teacher Tang Ya, you'd better be glad I can't read minds."

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that after seeing your tactical train of thought, I won't be able to sleep at night."

"Are you polite?"

Over on the Main Team's side, the originally relaxed atmosphere completely changed.

Xixi spoke first.

"All-around detection, no blind spots in vision."

Zhang Zifeng nodded.

"The distance and movement trajectory are also very clear; it's very hard for an agility-attack system to sneak attack him."

Gongyang Mo said, "This is too big of an enhancement for the team. Seven people sharing the exact same battlefield information will greatly increase coordination speed."

Yao Haoxuan touched his nose.

"I take back what I just said."

Dai Yueheng asked, "Which sentence?"

"The sentence about preparing to tear down the academy."

"Why?"

"They really have that capability."

Ling Luochen had been staring at Huo Yuhao.

"Spiritual Detection is just the basic ability of the Spirit Eyes?"

Ma Xiaotao said, "Guess."

"You know?"

"I know a little."

"Then you tell me."

"I won't tell."

Ling Luochen looked at her.

"Childish."

Ma Xiaotao laughed.

"You can ask Little Yuhao after the match."

Ling Luochen said indifferently, "I was going to ask anyway."

"I'll audit."

"As you wish."

Elder Xuan finished the last bite of his chicken leg and threw the bone into the paper bag.

"Alright, coordination practice ends here."

"Both sides enter the arena."

The seven members of the Main Team walked toward the left side of the training ground.

The Reserve Team stood on the right side.

Huo Yuhao said in a low voice, "Stand according to the previous positions. Qiuer, don't get disconnected. Donger, watch the air. Sister Nannan, reinforce the flank. Xiaoxiao, protect Tang Ya and Gu Yuena."

Tang Ya asked, "What about you?"

"I'm in the middle."

"The opposite side will definitely cut you down first."

"That's why we need to make them feel like they can cut me down."

Jiang Nannan glanced at him.

"You're going to use yourself as bait?"

"As long as they get close, Qiuer and Donger will have an opportunity."

Wang Qiuer nodded.

"This tactic is feasible."

Wang Donger frowned.

"Too risky."

"I'm confident."

"Every time you say that, something happens afterwards."

"I'll try not to this time."

"Try?"

Huo Yuhao coughed lightly.

"The match is about to start."

Elder Xuan stood in the center of the arena and raised his right hand.

"Seven versus seven, free combat within the arena."

"Losing combat capability, actively surrendering, or leaving the arena will be regarded as elimination."

"The Main Team's strength is partially restricted."

"Ma Xiaotao, you are not allowed to use abilities above the sixth Spirit Ability."

Ma Xiaotao asked, "Fifth Spirit Ability can be used freely?"

"Freely."

Elder Xuan continued, "Dai Yueheng is likewise restricted to the first five Spirit Abilities."

Dai Yueheng nodded.

"Understood."

Yao Haoxuan couldn't help asking, "Elder Xuan, what restrictions does the Reserve Team have?"

"None."

"They have the Golden Dragon, Silver Dragon, Ultimate Ice, Spirit Fusion technique, and also Spiritual Detection Sharing, and not a single restriction?"

Elder Xuan glanced at him.

"Scared?"

Yao Haoxuan straightened his back.

"I'm just confirming the rules."

"It's normal to be scared."

"I'm not scared."

"Don't shake your legs."

"This is pre-match warm-up."

Tang Ya shouted across the field, "Senior Yao, why don't you surrender now? We'll leave you a dignified path to get off work."

Yao Haoxuan immediately replied, "You guys survive three minutes first and then talk."

Huo Yuhao reminded in a low voice.

"Get ready."

Spiritual Detection Sharing reconnected to the entire team, and everyone's position instantly became clear.

The Main Team's Soul Power also began to surge.

The White Tiger's aura rose.

Ice elements gathered rapidly.

Colorful light lit up behind Gongyang Mo.

Xixi and Zhang Zifeng lowered their bodies simultaneously.

Ma Xiaotao's flames already covered both arms.

Elder Xuan looked around at both sides, his face devoid of a smile.

"Let me see if you guys are qualified to follow the Main Team to the tournament."

His palm abruptly came down.

"Start!"

Huo Yuhao's Spiritual Detection spread out instantly.

All seven auras were locked onto.

The next moment, his breath stopped for half a beat.

Behind the Main Team, there was yet another aura.

The eighth one!

That person, standing behind Ma Xiaotao?
